Building a 2022 GLE 350 with polar white exterior and AMG line exterior with night package, and panoramic roof. So the exterior will be very starkly white/black. For interior, going with macchiato beige/black MB-tex. And so the trim? Natural grain grey oak wood OR natural grain brown walnut wood? Leaning toward grey as it's darker and may look better with the white/black/modern look more so than the walnut which seems more traditional. Thoughts? Thanks!

i would definitely recommend the they grey oak! Looks so much better. I tried to upload a pic, but wouldn’t let me.

I'd say the grey oak, myself. I went with black-flamed open pore ash, which is pretty dark but has a nice texture. Not sure how the oak compares.
I agree on your assessment of macchiato with walnut is a more warm traditional classy look while the grey oak is more modern chic industrial two tone look. Oak is more my taste. I think the walnut is really nice, but any time i see a GLE with beige and black wood, my jaw drops. It's so stunning.
It's subjective, but are you open to the Metal Weave trim instead of the wood? When I first saw the GLE the interior was beige with the Metal Weave as the trip and I thought it looked really good.
Was very hard for me to choose between the dark grey wood and the walnut. Saw the walnut up close with the black leather and I was sold. Gorgeous imo. Maybe too classic for some, but that's why they give us options to suit our personal tastes.

As an architect, I would equate it to mid-century modern vs. contemporary. Both are good. Walnut definitely warmer, of course.
